Dinan Stage 2 Update

greg21040 · 09-27-2019, 04:06 PM

Back in February Dinan told me it would most likely be the end of 2019 or beginning of 2020. I see on here that others have been strung along for almost a year now...
I'm glad I went with MP back in March. It's been great.

I love the tune. I only can speak to my experience, though.

I started in this order:
VR Tuning (piggyback)
Dinan Stage 1 (piggyback)
JB4
Mission Performance Stage 2 with trans flash

Now BotMod3 is out and I hear great things about their Stage 2. There's a bit more flexibility with theirs versus the MP tune, but appears to have equal power gains.

Cold start the high RPM at startup. It lasts about 15 seconds or so. With my exhaust it was so obnoxiously loud! Cold start delete drops the RPM back to idle immediately after startup.

Here's a clip of my car with the cold start delete.

Oh yeah yeah my cla45 does that. Wait why do you need 2 piggy backs? That sounds redundant.
I've had terrible tuning experience with apr back when I had my Audi so I'm very cautious about warranty so that's why I'm patiently waiting for dinan.

I didn't have them on at the same time. As I learned and continued my quest for more power those are what I installed and removed.

Oh wow. Good job. I'm guess that's gotta be 400 to the wheels.

It dyno'd 430whp on a really warm day. With my Dinan Stage 1 (CAI and downpipe) it dyno'd at 403whp on a cooler day.
I feel I have to throw this disclosure in because someone will chime in and get into all about the dyno...
Yes, I'm aware all dyno's are different and even the same setup will show different results on different days...

Dinan will void BMW warranty. They just replace it with their own ... if you want that you can chose Noelle (expensive but probably cheaper than Dinan and includes Transmission too)

This charges me 1800 for flash??? I don't think dinan is that much right?

I don't think we even know what Dinan would charge for a similar product if / when they ever get their flash product to market.

If it was Dinan from "back in the day" I would be inclined to wait for them because I'd "trust" them more. But these days I think folks are willing to start looking elsewhere cause they ain't what they used to be.

What happened with APR? I ran it flawlessly on a GLI then B8 S4. Curious

APR tune? I'm not familiar with that one and not sure they tune BMW.
Over the last week I've been dying to try BM3. They have a few OTS maps I'd like to try.
